Got Tao?

​Purpose of Life

Life is like a drama, filled with joy and bitterness, some glorious moments and some sorrowful time. How can we escape our pre-destinated life?

Our moments are always changing while the clock is turning. How to escape from the wheel of fate? Can we see beyond our eyes? Realize this is just a dream! Are we indulging our lives as our real destiny? If we are not awaken, our life will follow the path of our pre-destinated fate and the wheel of karma. This would be a never ending life-course.

We don't want to fall into the wheel of karma; we should seek to the eternal residence.

Find Tao, and we will realize the purpose of life.

Our true nature is call Tao. Cultivation is about finding Tao, our true nature. Using the terminology of Zen, we can say that one part of cultivation is about finding our true essence.

First, find the root source of our mind to be awakened. But after awakening or enlightenment, then what? What do we do?

Use our wisdom to see that our lives on earth is only temporary. Don't just follow material things that surround us because all things will be gone when we permanently closed our eyes. What is the most happy thing in life? It is to fulfill our responsibilities. Our ultimately act is to help other sentient beings, to relieve their hurts and sorrows, to spread auspiciousness and to help them achieve enlightenment, too. We want to exercise compassion and help sentient beings become enlightened too.
